Search. A linking verb is a verb which connects a subject to its predicate without expressing an action. A linking verb is used to re-identify or describe its subject. The word, phrase, or clause which follows a linking verb to re-identify or describe the subject is called the subject complement. The most common linking verb is the verb to be.
Not all verbs are Linking Verbs, of course. One type of non-linking verb is the dynamic verb (sometimes called an action verb). Here the subject is actively involved in a specific action, e.g. 'kick', 'run', 'eat'. Often, action verbs require something to complete their meaning, but sometimes they don't.hus the clause is analysed: Subject (She) - Linking Verb (seems) - Complement (tired) or S-V-C. Note that in both those examples the predicatives are called 'subject complements' because they tell you about the subject, either by renaming it (father), or describing it (tired).
